The Hidden WordWritten by Joyce C. Lock
Behold, thou desirest truth in inward parts: and in hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; Then shalt thou understand fear of LORD, and find knowledge of God. For LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. He layeth up sound wisdom for righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly. He keepeth paths of judgment, and preserveth way of his saints. Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path. When righteous men do rejoice, there is great glory: but when wicked rise, a man is hidden. Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and understanding of their prudent men shall be hid. And I will give thee treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, LORD, which call thee by thy name, am God of Israel. Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not ye declare it? I have shewed thee new things from this time, even hidden things, and thou didst not know them. That he who blesseth himself in earth shall bless himself in God of truth; and he that sweareth in earth shall swear by God of truth; because former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes.
| | Be HappyWritten by Joyce C. Lock
Happy art thou, O Israel: who is like unto thee, O people saved by LORD, shield of thy help, and who is sword of thy excellency! and thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places. Deut. 33:28-29 Happy are thy men, happy are these thy servants, which stand continually before thee, and that hear thy wisdom. 1 Kings 10:8 Behold, happy is man whom God correcteth ... Job 5:17 As arrows are in hand of a mighty man; so are children of youth. Happy is man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with enemies in gate. Blessed is every one that feareth LORD; that walketh in his ways. For thou shalt eat labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee. Psalm 127:3-128:2 Happy is that people ... whose God is LORD. Psalm 144:15 Happy is he that hath God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in LORD his God. Psalm 146:5 Happy is man that findeth wisdom, and man that getteth understanding. For merchandise of it is better than merchandise of silver, and gain thereof than fine gold. She is more precious than rubies: and all things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her. Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her. Proverbs 3:13-18 ... he that hath mercy on poor, happy is he. Proverbs 14:21 He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in LORD, happy is he. Proverbs 16:20
